I managed to get the bug back - not sure why its intermittent. I've been playing with it for hours and if I bang away like a mad monkey for 5 or 6 lines, then it enters an "extra-slow" mode where it misses keypresses. I'm guessing some sort of race condition. Its easier to trigger when the system is busiest and acting slow. But Copy To Texture is still the best bet. It seemed like setting graphicssystem to raster made things worse.
